A NARROW ESCAPE.
Three Hundred Men in a Pennsylvania
Mino When Dam Breaks.

WILKEsBARRE, PA, Aug. 26.-Tnree
hundred men employed at No. stopeiot
the Susquehanns Coal Company st Nanti-
coke, had narrow escape with their
lives yesterday. This large array of men
were engaged in mining coal in the Io9g-
est vein in the mine when a great %oldme
of water stored in one Of the upper veins
broke through into the gargWay where
the men were at work. By the aid Of
electric alarms the men all through TIE
mines were made aware of the danger, in
store for them, and rush was mads for
the openings. All succeeded in mAkias
their escape, but many of the older men
and young boys were knocked down and
trampled upon. Before the last man ha6
got out the waters had increased to thySt
feet in depth in the main gangwaysMd
some of the men had to paddle theH~aJ
out. The mine will not be able IS re-
kSume operations until the water can be
pumped out, which will take a week Of
more. Ninety mules persisted. The loss
to the company will be considerable.

Gas Accumulated from Lenky Main Is

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 26-Yesterdsy
afternoon in the basement OF the whole
sale clothing store of Leopold Bros. &
Co. one man was badly injured and an
other is likely to lose his life. A gas
pipe under the sidewalk had teen leaking
and Patrick Gafney and Daniel Casey
went into the basement for the purpose
of locating the leak. Suddenly loud
explosion was heard by which the whole
building was shaken. Between the
bricked-up embenkment OF the sidewalk
and the wall OF the building WAS a
space of about Two feet wide
and as long as the building. IEto
this space the gas had been escaping When
the men ca ne too close to the wall the
escaping gas caught fire, and this ignited
the large reservoir of gas between TIE
two walls, and it exploded with such
force SO to throw the men violently down
and the wall upon them. Daniel Casey
Yves revived without difficulty. Gafney
was less fortunate. His injuries are pro-
nounced fatal. The explosion Of confined
gas displayed great force as it threw
down brick wall ten feet high and thir-
ty- five feet long, hurting it some distance
and lifting the paving stones of the side
walk

Special TO the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Aug. 2G.-News
was received here this morning that yes
terdav near Thackerville in the Indian
Territory, Tom Little was shot and killed
by Doc East. The details Of the TRAGEDY
and the causes leading to it, have not yet
been fully learned, but it seems that
East had married an Indian wilow,
named Green, and had parted
from her some time since. Mrs. East then
leased or sold the place where she
and her husband had lived to Little. This
East did not like, and for some time past
bad blood has existed bttween the two
men. The feud continued to grow in
bitterness, sud resulted, as stated .9bbFe,
in the killing of Little yesterday. It il
uncertain whether or not there were eny
eye witnesses TO the tragedy, the first itfs
formation being OF the affair being Aes
ceived from East, who rode into 1lssk-
erville and announced thai Little's Body
was lying in the spot where he had Shot
him. When Littie's body was found by
the persons going from Thackerville,
it WAS discovered that the dead man had
been shot in thr places, one shot taking
effect in the stomach, one in the forehead
and one shot penetrating the face some
where between the eyes and moth. ANY
one of the three wounds wotl1 have beer;
sufficient 10 produce deatH Near Littlefs
body his pistol was found and two its
chambers were empty. 1t is suySosed
that the men met, and had an imnFomptu
duel, although it is thought by seine that
there was another party assisting East.
Two of the dead mans iriendsscame here
last night to procure q coffin for the re-
mains, and they left for home this morn
ing. East was arrested here several
years ago for killing man named De-
witt, but was discharged after having had
an examining trial. At last accounts. East
had net been arrested.

The Primary Use of water.

Water was provided by the Creator
for the purpose Of driving mills. Its
use as beverage and for domestic pur-
poses was an after thought, secondary
and subordinate to the great original
design. Those who divert this some
what common but precious fluid from
its primary use to supply the physical
wants of the human family must pay
whatever price the original owners
choose to demand. People may drink
water if they will; it is perhaps as good
beverage as any, and is the basis of
others less to be commended than it
self; but if they insist upon drinking it
before it has turned the wheels of the
mill-owners they will find it costly.
This seems to be the doctrine of the
award in the mill case against the City
Of Worcester, which says that Worces-
ter must pay to the mill-owners on the
Blackstone River below the Rhode
Island line $l72,202 for OBTAINING the
water of Tatnuck Brook for a short
space on its way to their mills Wor-
